Hello Mate thank you for the info the EZ is just for a tabletop for my boy to play with. i gave him a Hornby 66 with the TTS sound decoder and tried to program it on that controller guess not Eh! I have the Elite but its not set up yet the dcc sound bachmanns 20,66,37 run on his EZ no problem! but they will be moving to My Elite shortly.

Hi folks I am David and a newbie to dcc and i have a problem with a Hornby DCC R8121 sound decoder on the Hornby class 66 R3886 66405 and i had it reprogrammed from default address 3 to 5 on a Bachmann EZ command controller (1000MA) until it started to : stutter and go very slow then the sound would rev up and cut out the go back to 1 (start up sound) and do this all over again most of the functions would not work either spirax valve, brake squeal etc then it would hit the points and cut out going back to start up function again ! even with track clips installed! I removed the chip and ran it on a track analogue, brilliant the loco ran normally it works! so is it the chip or is it the EZ command?? HELP!! my other 66's and class 20 and 37 all work beautifully with all functions present. David
